RE: [Gumstix-users] jtag break out for connex?

What VMware product are you using? VMware Workstation? Or one of the
bigger ones? I just noticed one can buy the basic, electronic distribution
for $189. Is this what you are using?
Thanks,

I didn't realize this was possible until two days ago but using
VMware, you can make it run so it simply has direct disk access
to a linux system installed in a traditional dual boot config.
I have a win2k and slackware dual boot setup on my laptop. When
setting up a VMware virtual machine, I select allowing it direct
access to the entire disk. When I start the virtual machine in
windows, the LILO prompt appears! I can boot into slackware in
that VM and use it while simultaneously doing windows stuff. It
can access the multiple EXT3 partitions, and it has better disk
performance than the usual VMware virtual disk setup. And I can
still boot directly into linux if I want better performance.
So it offers the best of both worlds. I tried going pure linux
some years ago but reality is that I still need windows for
many reasons. Not happy about that but that's the real world.
